We moved from Tokyo to the countryside in Ehime in 2024 to raise our child surrounded by nature. David and I are friendly, open minded people, and we love connecting with people. We love making silly jokes and being happy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The world is full of wonderful people that we'd like to meet. We like introducing people to Japan and helping people to get to know the local culture and people better!

We also like to visit our former couchsurfers when we go abroad- we've become good friends with many of them.

Interests

Of course we enjoy travelling and photography, learning and experiencing new things. We both ride our motorcycles everywhere, but we also like relaxing at home with our kitties.

We adopted a boy in 2015, and we love making things together so we like cooking, sewing, woodworking, pottery, you name it. David has a lot of tools.

Music, Movies, and Books

Since we have a young child, we usually watch shows that are appropriate for him. The Toy Story franchise is pretty good.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Waka: Backpacking from Europe to Japan overland in 1 year and 4 months.
David: Juggling fire while walking on stilts in a music video.

Teach, Learn, Share

We often cook together with our couchsurfers. It's a great way to spend time together and to learn from each other!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good company and sincere conversation. Who could ask for anything more?
